Thermal energy
When a substance cools, it loses thermal energy to its surroundings. This process results in a decrease in the substance's temperature as the thermal energy is transferred to the surrounding environment, usually through conduction, convection, or radiation.
When a substance cools, it loses heat energy to its surroundings, causing the molecules to slow down and the substance to contract or solidify. This can lead to changes in physical properties such as becoming more rigid or brittle.
The density of the substance becomes higher because of the particles slow down and move closer together when the substance cools.
A substance cools down when it releases heat energy to its surroundings through processes like conduction, convection, and radiation. This can happen when the substance is in contact with a cooler object, when it loses heat to the air or water around it, or when it emits thermal radiation.
When a substance cools off, it is primarily losing thermal energy in the form of heat to its surroundings. The molecules inside the substance lose kinetic energy, resulting in a decrease in temperature.
There are two ways that a substance ( called the System ) may release energy to the Surroundings :( 1 ) Heat may be released by heat transfer from the System to the Surroundings. Heat transfer from the System to the Surroundings requires the System temperature to exceed the temperature of the Surroundings and the presence of one or more heat transfer modes ( conduction, convection, and/or radiation.( 2 ) Work done by the System of on the Surroundings corresponding to a force moving through a distance, such as when the substance expands. Substance confined to a cylinder with a piston may expand, doing work on the Surroundings.
Earthen pots have tiny holes in them through which some of the water keeps seeping. But it is not noticeable. The water which is now outside the earthen pot evaporates. Durin evaporation, the water gain heat energy from the surroundings to evaporate. Thus the surroundings and the water in the earthen pot loses heat energy and cools gradually.
Condensation is the process by which a substance changes from a gas to a liquid. This change occurs when the gas cools down and loses energy, causing the molecules to come together and form a liquid.
Freezing is exothermic, as the substance that is freezing loses energy to its surroundings.
A hot substance will pass on heat to a substance at a cooler temperature. If it was surrounded by an even hotter substance it would be "given" heat. Heat can only flow from hotter to colder, just as water flows from higher to lower ground. If the temperature difference between the substances is great, then heat will pass more quickly, but if the difference is very slight, then the flow of heat will be very much slower.
During freezing, energy is transferred from the substance being frozen to its surroundings. As the substance loses heat energy, its temperature decreases until it reaches the freezing point, at which point it transitions from a liquid to a solid state. This transfer of energy continues until the substance is completely frozen.
A substance loses energy during cooling and evaporation processes. During cooling, heat is transferred away from the substance, lowering its temperature. During evaporation, the substance loses energy as molecules escape from its surface, causing it to undergo a phase change from liquid to gas.
